Quentin Tarantino's best film?

I cannot pick one...they are all the same.

 

I found both a tad bit disappointing, but I liked them somewhat.

 

Is it more film and retiring ( as promised, a Western i believe ). Or work with Uma Thurman for one last time.

 

Pulp Fiction
Jackie Brown
Inglorious Basterds
Reservoir Dogs

In that order.

 

I'd say Reservoir Dogs. I love Pulp Fiction too, but every time I'm surfing through cable channels and see Reservoir Dogs, I have to stop and watch it till the end, no matter where in the movie I'm coming in at... Sometimes I'll see Pulp Fiction and just keep going.

 

Yes! Very intense film. Great script. But the performances really made it work.

 

Resorvoir dogs is an amazing debut movie

 

Tarantino cuts and pastes older, better movies into the same exercise in infantile posturing and narcissism. He's only made one movie. Settings and wardrobe change, but the text remains the same. No motivations, no subtext, just the same actors reciting reams and reams of expository and declarative dialog in which the same characters under different names insult and threaten each other before finally, inevitably pulling the trigger. Everybody acts cute, and there's no visual metaphor, no silences, no change in the camera set-ups. They're all the same movie.

Jackie Brown is the only instance in which Tarantino rose above his limitations. Sort of. That was because he was telling Elmore Leonard's story instead of his own cut & paste, and not telling it very well. Anyone who's read the novel can see how obtuse Tarantino's adaptation is. Obtuse and dumbed down.

 

So, the movie that ressurected Travolta has a weak cast? With Samuel J., Willis, Keitel, Roth and his girl; And Maria de Medeiros and that black dude?

Call it even if you want, but much stronger cast... really dude?

And RD didn´t have any scene on par with that dance... none bro...

 

For me the orders something like this:


1 Pulp Fiction
2 Kill Bill Vol 2
3 Kill Bill Vol 1
4 Django Unchained
5 Reservoir Dogs
6 Death Proof
7 The Hateful Eight
8 Inglorious Bastards
9 Jackie Brown

 

having seen The Hateful Eight a couple of days ago, even after only one viewing, it may very well be my third favorite QT film (behind RD and PF).

 

I loved TR, and liked NBK, but thought KZ was just okay.... it didn't "feel" like a Tarantino-scripted film... where was all the memorable dialogue?

I also don't understand the notoriety KZ received for apparently being "incredibly violent"... sure, there was plenty of gunplay, and several people died, but most of the deaths happen off-screen and there's very little blood/gore. It was a much tamer film than I was expecting.

 

This.

 

From a aesthetic point of view, yes.
Did Kill Bill do better at the box office ?

 

Natural Born Killers is one of my favorite movies of all time.

"Repetition works, David."

Natural Born Killers is one of my favorite movies of all time.

 

I enjoyed Jackie Brown more than any of the others, but Pulp Fiction is the quintessential Tarantino film and a masterpiece.

I feel like I should have enjoyed Django Unchained and Inglorious Basterds more than I did. I've wasted enough time fantasizing about precise those kinds of comeuppances inflicted on precisely the same loathsome malefactors.

 

Pulp Fiction for me. Unfortunately he has opened his big political mouth too much, and bashed the wrong things, for me to find a way to finance anything more he does.

 

H8.
Even though the movie has a winter setting, you would have thought it would have been better releasing it in the summer. Is December a better time as a Oscar candidate ?

 

So you only associate with people with your same political views, or are his views so radical that you can't look past them? When you say unfortunately, do you mean for him or for you? Your post seems out of place on this thread...

 

Please leave the P word out of this thread please.

 

I have seen multiple interviews with him and never once has he ever gotten political...

 

Just saying.

 

Like the daddy tomato said to the baby tomato: : "Ketch-up!"

 

Well played Sir.

 

That's because Tarantino had nothing to do with Killing Zoe. QT's Pulp Fiction co-writer Roger Avary wrote and directed that one.
